Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lock for an adjustable vehicle roof according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Locks for adjustable vehicle roofs in the form of hardtops as well as soft tops are known in many forms.
  • the respective roof coverings be it in the form of dimensionally stable roof parts or in the form of a canopy to be deployed, are supported by a roof kinematics and adjusted between a vehicle interior overlapping closing position and a vehicle interior opening storage position, wherein in the closed position a lock against the cowl is made .
  • Corresponding locking parts are usually on the one hand the cowl, on the other hand associated with the subsequent to the cowl roof part and constructed like a castle, the locks are usually designed as turnbuckles. Since both the cowl and the front roof part or a corresponding roof cap should be designed flat and slim, resulting in the locking device with associated drive corresponding restrictions, especially since considerable clamping forces must be applied.
  • the invention has the object of providing a lock for an adjustable vehicle roof in such a way that the actuator can also be placed in consideration of other, associated with the adjustment of the roof actuating and monitoring functions in a favorable manner and optionally used in addition.
  • the locking device comprises a control linkage, which, according to the roof kinematics, extends along the roof and according to the roof kinematics in the transition between successive roof parts has at least one axis of rotation, the axes of rotation of the roof kinematics and Adjusting linkage in the open position of the locking device, ie in the released for the adjustment between closed position and storage position roof, coaxial with each other.
  • An inventive designed locking proves to be particularly useful in three-part hardtops and allows for such roof concepts the assignment of the actuator to the central roof part, so starting from the middle roof part on the actuator both the lock against the adjacent to the front roof part provided cowl can be operated, as well Any additional locks, be it for the rear roof panel against the body or for locking roof parts with each other.
  • the main link can thereby have a roof-side course region by extending in the region of the actuating linkage, which is acted upon by the actuator, whereby the locking device can also be used to a part of the roof kinematics, here the main link, in its position corresponding to the closed position of the roof to block the roof.
  • the invention thus provides a locking unit which comprises a locking device for the roof as well as a blocking device for fixing the roof kinematics relative to the closed roof, wherein based on the three-part roof by the locking of the main link relative to the central roof part and the rear roof part is blocked because this - as a kind of C-pillar handlebar - at the central part of the roof - as a coupling - is articulated in a rotation axis.
  • blocking of the front roof part with respect to the middle roof part can also be achieved by means of the actuating linkage, even if the front roof part of a preferred embodiment of the invention is articulated to the middle roof part via a four-bar arrangement such that the front roof part in FIG Storage position of the roof is above the middle roof part, so that a roof part package is formed, cover in the front and middle roof part with the same orientation located in the supine rear roof section.
  • the bridging between the central roof part and the front roof part is achieved according to the invention in that the adjusting linkage to one of the links of the four-bar arrangement between front roof part and rear roof part, based on the roof in its closed position, a coaxially articulated transmission link which acts on a longitudinally displaceable to the front roof sled member, which acts on a control rod as part of the locking device in the front roof part pivotally guided locking hook, access a runner-side counterpart takes.
  • the carriage member is preferably stop-limited at least with respect to one of its end positions, in particular with respect to its end position corresponding to the open locking, and / or adjustable in its longitudinal extent setting control rod optionally also in its adjustment length.
  • the carriage member and the transfer link in the invention preferably have almost the same direction of extent, so in connection with the operation of the locking device on the actuator resulting longitudinal displacements of the transfer to the parallel locking bar open position of the four-bar arrangement between the middle and front roof part only small changes in angle and thus also result in small changes in the gear ratio.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 - enlarged in Fig. 2 for clarity and therefore shown divided - as adjustable vehicle roof 1, a hard top, which has three roof parts 2 to 4, namely a front roof part 2, a middle roof part 3 and a rear roof part 4.
  • the dimensionally stable roof parts 2 to 4 each comprise a dimensionally stable roof skin, for the roof parts 2 to 4 each denoted by 5, and a roof frame part, corresponding to the list of roof parts 2 to 4 denoted by 6 to 8.
  • the roof frame parts 6 to 8 form in the schematic representation of parts of the roof kinematics, which is formed in the articulation to the schematically indicated body 9 at the rear by a four-bar link 10 and as a connection of the middle roof part 3 to the front roof part 2 as a four-bar linkage 11.
  • the rear-side four-bar link 10 comprises, as a so-called C-pillar link, the rear roof frame part 8, which is connected to the central roof part 3 via an axis of rotation 12.
  • the roof frame part 7 thus forms in the transition between the axis of rotation 12 and the pivot point 14, the coupling of the four-bar 10, the base side with direct articulation to the body 9 is shown, the body-side pivot points 15, 16 but also be supported displaceably to the body 9, for example corresponding intermediate link or the like.
  • the region forming the coupling between the axis of rotation 12 and the articulation point 14 of the central roof frame part 7 ends approximately at the rear end of the central roof part 3, and the roof frame part 7 engages in the direction of travel F, ie forward, over the part of the middle covered by the roof skin 5 Roof part 3 also in the area of the front roof part 2 into it.
  • the links 17, 18 of the four-bar linkage 11 articulated, to which the front roof frame part 6 forms the coupling.
  • the closed roof 1 covers the vehicle interior 19 and connects at the front to the indicated cowl 20 of a windshield frame. Rear side of the transition between the roof skin 5 of the rear roof part 4 and a trunk lid 21 is indicated.
  • Turnbuckle is formed, which includes a roof part side, formed for example as a clamping hook locking member, on the part of the cowl 20 is assigned to an engaging behind counter-holder.
  • the slide member 26 is in turn longitudinally displaceable over a transmission link 27, which is connected as part of the actuating linkage 24 with a gate-guided pull and push rod 27.
  • the pull and push rod 27 is held in the front and rear areas in each case via a particular linear sliding guide on the middle roof frame part 7, wherein the sliding guide is formed in the front part of the roof frame 7 as Gleitstein Insert 28 and in the rear part of the roof frame 7 as a slide guide 29.
  • the pull and push rod 27 is acted upon via an actuator indicated only, which is formed for example by a hydraulic actuating cylinder.
  • the locking device with its adjusting linkage 24 has assigned to the transition between two roof parts, here the front roof part 2 and the middle roof part 3, the pivot point 31 between the transfer link 30 and the pull and push rod 27 and it is this pivot point 31 with the lock open, dashed lines, coaxial with the articulation point 32 of the front link 17 of the four-bar linkage 11.
  • the transfer link 30 thus forms a with respect to its articulation points 31, 34 to the roof frame part 6 coaxially to the handlebars 17 handlebar, so with open latch pivotal movements of the roof parts 2 and 3 to each other without affecting the carriage member 26 remain, this thus unchanged to the roof frame part 6 in position is, which also remains during the opening and closing movement of the lock part in its open position.
  • the articulation of the control rod 23 on the carriage guide 26, which is preferably designed as a spaced, fixed to the frame part 6 sliding block sliding rod, is suitably carried out on a slide or push rod fixed hinge pin, such as on a laterally projecting ball pin, so on the Actuator 23 and movements or tolerances in the transverse direction of the roof can be executed or compensated.
  • the arrangement of the actuator for the adjusting rod in the rear region of the central roof part 2 proves to be useful, among other things, for reasons of space, and also allows for the pull and push rod 27, the arrangement of the Gleitstein Entry 28 and the slide guide 29, which also as Gleitstein Entry may be formed, with a relatively large distance from each other, so in particular in the coverage area to the main link 13 and the front roof part 2, wherein the extension of the front roof frame part 6 is not shown in this coverage area.
  • the position latching bolt 37, 38 to the catch members 35, 36 is such that, as indicated by dashed lines, in standing in the open position of the lock pull and push rod 27 and in the closed position roof 1, the respective hook-shaped catch member 35, 36 with its catch mouth the respective Detent pin 36, 37 is mounted upstream, such that with adjustment of the tension and the push rod 27 in the closing direction of the locking of the respective locking pin 37, 38 is caught by the catch member 35, 36, with the result that in accordance with wedge-shaped taper of the Fangmaules the catch member 35, 36 a tension of the front roof part 2 takes place against the central roof part 3, as well as a tension of the central roof part 3 against the main link 13.
  • the tension against the main link 13 leads to a blockage of the four-bar 10 and thus to a rigid connection of middle Roof part 3 and rear roof part 4, according to the blockade of the four-bar linkage 11 between front he roof part 2 and middle roof part 3 on the tension of the front roof part 2 against the middle roof part.
  • the invention thus provides a locking device is provided in addition to the locking of the roof 1 against an adjacent component, here the cowl 20, the blockage of the roof parts 2 to 4 to each other and thus the creation of a rigid roof unit in the closed state, which also in Central transition region between the rear roof part 4 and middle roof part 3 is braced supporting the roof kinematics, so that there is a roll bar similar function under accident aspects.
